This is an area with common features. These are imaginary lines that run east to west around the globe; they are also known as parallels. This is the imaginary line that divides the earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is 0⁰ latitude. This is how geographers show distance on a map. These are the intermediate directions. Unlike a physical map, this kind of map tells only one kind of information such as elevation, rainfall, or population density. These are the imaginary lines that run around the globe between the North and the South Pole. They are also known as meridians. This is the grid formed by crisscrossing the lines of latitude and longitude on a map. Together these two lines help us locate places anywhere in the world. Name the five regions of the U.S. that we are studying. The Appalachian Mountains run through these two regions. The state of South Dakota is mostly between this range of elevation. If I am at 35⁰ North and 85⁰ West, I am in this region. If you are facing the South Pole, you are facing this direction. This region borders the Pacific Ocean. The Missouri River runs through these two regions. These two regions receive between 32 to 64 inches of rain per year over most of their area. If I am at 40⁰ North and 95⁰ West, I am this region. Geographers use this color to show water on a map. These two region are bordered by the country of Mexico. This is the capital of the state of Georgia. The state of Nevada has this many people per square mile. If I am at 30⁰ North and 100⁰ West, I am in this region.
